    Wondered how his season had gone. After joining Cardiff in Jan, Jonny only started one game and finished the season having played 180 minutes. 
    This isn't really a surprise tho is it?

    Would have liked to have seen Williams play under Adkins - imagine he is the ideal manager for Johnny. Shame.
    Yesterday's man.
    There won't be any room in the squad for bodies that can't (or minds that won't) sustain 95 minute games, 4 or 5 times a month


    Ben Watson begs to differ with you.

    They lost that game 5-0 to Sheff W.
  • Derby got one point in their last games and sky had the cheek to say what a great job Rooney has done in keeping them up

    Bowyer brought as much out of Williams as anyone ever has .  Sadly his weak body doesn’t allow him to play well for any length of time
  • Loved Williams but despite this he’s a reminder of the bad old days when we could only sign someone of his calibre because they come with injuries.  We’ve moved on from this now.

    He didn't wear decent boots or shin guards. Was always going to get injured. 

    I expect the squad will see bigger players in future.

    How often did he have a 'shin injury'?

    His shin pads were low because that's where contact is made, there's little to no need for bigger shin pads really.  Boots are all decent enough now, sure they can increase the risk of foot injuries, but how many foot injuries did he have with us?

    Cullen, aribo, gallagher and Pratley brought as much out of Williams as anyone ever has. They gave him the ball, space and back up. It’s a team game and when you are a lightweight player that likes to dribble the ball in tight spaces it’s all about the quality of the backup you’ve got around you.
  • Just been released.

    no surprise .. I suspect he'll end up somewhere like Newport, Plymouth, Morecambe, Forest Green .. he'll still be around for a while yet

    more likely Gillingham.  
  • It never really happens though does it. He's obviously a good player but I can't remember him single handedly turning a game around for us. Cullen, Gallagher and Aribo did that regularly for us.

    Would take him back in a heartbeat. Has the ability to rip it up in League One under a better man manager in Adkins.
    Bowyer’s man management looked good enough to me when Williams was ripping the championship a new one at the start of last season.  Sadly JW is weak of body; I suspect he’ll retire after the Euros

  • Unless it was some sort of pay as you play or a seriously low wage topped up by appearance bonuses I would probably not bring him back.

    Guessing you missed the playoffs, then?
    Long time ago now though. 

    He did for me look good enough in the championship and even last season when played.
  • If he was part of the squad, I'd be happy - if he was a marquee signing, I'd be worried.
  • The Charlton Life scouting network must have set some awesome filters in Championship Manager back in the day!
